Dear Mr A. Scotti,

Thank you for your information request of 14 August 2020 and please
accept our apologies for delay in providing the response to you.  Aberdeen
City Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the information
requested. Our response is now detailed below.

I would like to receive information of water analysis (covering hardness
content, chlorides, sodium, sulphates, organic material etc) for water
supplied to houses in Aberdeen and intended for domestic use between
2015-2020. Please highlight any major event when water was outwith
potability ranges specifying cause of failure and mitigation measures, if
any, adopted.

We are unable to provide a response as the information is not held by us.

We are unable to provide you with information on information of water
analysis (covering hardness content, chlorides, sodium, sulphates, organic
material etc) for water supplied to houses in Aberdeen and intended for
domestic use between 2015-2020 as it is not held by the Council.  In order
to comply with our obligations under the terms of Regulation 10(4)(a) -
Information Not Held - of the EIRs, we hereby give notice that this
information is not held by us.  We are required by Regulation 10(1)(b) of
the EIRs to inform you as to why in all the circumstances of the case, the
public interest in maintaining this exception outweighs the public
interest in disclosing this information to you.  We are satisfied that we
do not hold this information and consider that, as there is no information
held, the public interest lies with the exception.

As a duty to provide support and assistance, we recommend you to contact
Scottish Water who may hold this information:

INFORMATION ABOUT THE HANDLING OF YOUR REQUEST

As the information which you requested is environmental information, as
defined under Regulation 2(1) of the Environmental Information (Scotland)
Regulations 2004 (the EIRs), we considered that it was exempt from release
through FOISA, and must therefore give you notice that we are refusing 
your request under Section 39(2) of FOISA (Freedom of Information
(Scotland) Act 2002).  However, you have a separate right to access the
information which you have requested under Regulation 5 of the EIRs, under
which we have handled your request. Please refer to [2]FOISA reviews &
appeals and [3]Your Data for more information about your rights under the
EIRs.

We hope this helps with your request.

Yours sincerely,
